As a dedicated fan of Modern Family, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions when I learn about Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson spending Thanksgiving at the hospital with their children. It’s heartwrenching to see our beloved Claire Dunphy and Mitchell Pritchett facing such hardships in real life, especially on a day traditionally meant for joy and togetherness.
Essentially, Thanksgiving is usually a time to celebrate with family, food, and football (even if you’re working like Tom Brady), but life doesn’t always follow the script. Unexpected incidents such as emergencies don’t pause just because it’s a holiday, a lesson learned by “Modern Family” co-stars Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson on Thursday. They both spent their day at the hospital with their children (who are both doing well, they reassured fans). What’s heartening is that they can rely on each other for comfort during tough times.
It might make a good synopsis for a Modern Family episode if it weren’t such a terrible thing to happen in real life, but on Thanksgiving Day, the actors who played siblings Claire Dunphy and Mitchell Pritchett on one of the best sitcoms of all time both had to take their kids to the ER. Julie Bowen, who shares 17-year-old Oliver and 15-year-old twins John and Gustav with her ex-husband Scott Phillips, posted a photo to Instagram showing one of them silhouetted in front of the lit-up emergency room entrance:

In the caption, the actress from Happy Gilmore 2 reassured fans that her son is safe, suggesting they may have visited this place before (a common occurrence for moms of boys). However, it wasn’t a perfect holiday, I’m sure. As people sent their well-wishes, Julie Bowen received comfort from Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s husband, Justin Mikita, who also sympathized with her situation in the comments.

Sadly it seems that the two dads, who share 4-year-old Beckett Mercer and 2-year-old Sullivan Louis, also had a not-so-happy holiday, as Jesse Tyler Ferguson shared his own photo on social media. The Tony Award winner looked solemnly at the camera as he lay in a hospital bed holding one of his sons:

He referenced his TV sister’s similar struggles, as he wrote:
I have received a lot of parenting wisdom from Julie Bowen, so seeing I wasn’t the only one with a kid in the ER on Thanksgiving was comforting. (He’s also fine.) Thank you to the kind folks at Lennox Health. NYC really DOES have the best healthcare.
It’s heartening to see Jesse Tyler Ferguson turning to his sister for guidance, since her children are more experienced parents than he is. It seems that some of the parental worries he harbors were eased by realizing that even she encountered situations leading to ER visits. Sofia Vergara, who portrayed their stepmother Gloria on the sitcom, acknowledged JTF’s post, showing empathy for his parenting challenges.
Oh no!!!!❤️❤️❤️
The actors from the hit show “Modern Family” haven’t shared the details of their recent hospital stay, but thankfully, it seems they are all well. It’s heartening to see that even after so many years, the Pritchett siblings continue to support each other through thick and thin.
If you want to see Claire and Mitchell in happier moments, or where at least the hardships are all fictional, Modern Family is one of the funniest shows streaming on Hulu right now, and it’s also available to stream with a Peacock subscription. Our best wishes go out to Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s families for continued recovery after what was likely a scary day.
